The importance of Aesthetics/ Show Notes

I am preparing for an upcoming show with Nordic2005 that will discuss the importance of Aesthetics in our movement. Here is some good thoughts on the subject to whet your appetite.

If I remember right, our topic is along the lines of Aesthetics and how it relates to White Nationalism and the preservation of the White race.

Our belief has something in common in this regard with religion. Can anyone imagine Christianity surviving from the 1st cent. A.D. till now, without religious ART and MUSIC?

The biblical texts are, of course, literature. The stories of the Bible have been dramatized and told and painted and sculpted and sung about for centuries. In fact, all the fine arts in the West have a sizable body of specifically religious works in their 'catalogs.'

Art conceptualizes religion. Without it, religion or philosophy perish. Ideas are expressed in words or pictures or architecture or music, but they are essentially expressed in some medium of art.

The very words of our languages are traced to roots which have their origins in the graphic arts.

E.g., the word pedal comes from a Latin word meaning foot, and a human foot can be painted or sculpted. In other words, even our vocabulary of highly abstract meanings traces back to roots which are concrete and can be pictured. Our language begins in the soil of the concrete.

Even our most useful tools usually have some artistic qualities about them.

To survive as a race, we need specific and concrete ideas and ideals to hold us together. We need all the elements of a unified White-European culture to survive. These must be treasured by the people in their hearts, and their creators must be honored by the people in their thoughts. We must believe in our European culture as part of believing in ourselves as a people. It's a question of racial self-esteem. Without it, we are lost.[/quote]

Excellent points.

The way religious faith is expressed, particularly in song is a great example of the way that type of art can intensify our connection to a cause. When a parishioner cries out the word "Jesus" in the course of singing a song, the word expresses and strengthens a devotion that is deeper then words.

Preaching itself is an art. The words may or may not reach the audience on a logical level, but the way that they are spoken, with a rhythmic tone that rises and falls in hypnotic sound that can move the believers to tears; this is more then communication, it is art. The fire and ice in the preachers eyes, the symbols that surround the stage, the stain glass windows, the subdued lighting; all these aesthetics create a atmosphere that can make time stop and fill the people with faith.

Politicians also use the same type of sing-song speaking, but it is much less effective in the press room or in television studio. When the President can control the aesthetics, the stage draped with American flags, "Hail to the Chief" type music, the White house as a back drop and flanked by well-dressed colleagues, then the effect is much better.

We must use this type of control over the aesthetics of our people and our media to define the image of White Nationalism.

This is the heart of our ideology, not just window dressing. The communists are all about killing religion and art. The faithless ideology is reflected in their lack of aesthetics, their block shaped buildings, their droning speakers and their collective farms.

The consumerism of today is equally opposed to our vision. We do not aspire to hedonism or selfishness. We have faith in something larger then ourselves; our nations and our race. Our blood and our soil is sacred. The communists dull the mind. The capitalists spread dissent and division by splitting us into 200 million individuals. We unite our people with faith and sharpen their minds with a vision of greatness.

We need to start thinking more positive. Instead of focusing on illegal immigration or on crime statistics we need to focus on ourselves.

The beauty of the White Race, the beauty of the white woman and the strength of the white man. And we need to focus on the surivival of our race and the renewal and progress of our race. And that we, at some point in the furture, will reach for the stars.
